NEW PAPER REVISE/UPLOAD WITHDRAW STATUS HELP/HOME
For more general questions regarding submissions: Please contact Sanjeev Arora ( arora@cs.princeton.edu), the program committee chair.
Format requirement: All submission must be submitted in postscript. Submissions in other formats (pdf, doc, odt, html, ...) will be rejected by the server.
At the top of most screens, you will see the following options:
NEW PAPER
This option will take you into a form in which you fill in information
regarding a new submission: name, title, authors, contact email, etc.
Perhaps the most cryptic option is the "password" field. You may fill
it in however you wish (though weird characters might cause problems),
or leave it blank. However, if you leave it blank, you will allow
anyone in the world to easily mess up your submission. Ideally then,
you should pick a password that you and your coauthors can remember,
but which cannot be guessed by anyone else; we recommend spelling your
last name backwards.
Please make sure that you put a valid email address into the contact
field. If you must put two or more addresses, please separate them by
commmas.
You do not need to upload a paper when you first submit, but there is
no need to make it into a two-step process (unlike earlier systems you may be
used to). The system will make a cursory check of your postscript
file, to see if it is well formed.
If you successfully submit a paper, you will be given a status window,
which will also tell you your ID number. At this point, the
REVISE/UPLOAD, WITHDRAW, and
STATUS options will become available.
REVISE/UPLOAD
Hitting the REVISE/UPLOAD option will present you
with a similar form to the NEW PAPER form, except
that the fields will be filled in with the current values. You may
change these fields, and upload a new file if you wish.
WITHDRAW
Hitting this option will withdraw your paper. If you have a change of
heart, you may revise it and upload a new postscript file, and it will
be resurrected. Performing a REVISE operation without uploading a
postscript file will not change the withdrawn status.
STATUS
This option will give you the current submission
status of your submission. This system currently does not report on
the final accept/reject decision, or give you author comments; you
will receive this informaion by email to the contact address.
LOOKUP
The LOOKUP form takes an ID # and password, and takes
you to the STATUS screen for that paper (if it exists).
HELP/HOME
This option takes you to this page.
